Gamespot reviewed this game as a 6.5/10
I purchased this game looking for some easy achievement points but what I found was a very fun game. The game starts off with an opening scene which I believe is out of the movie. You get to choose from either the good or the bad bots. The game is completely free roaming allowing you to choose what you do next. Whether it be following the story line or looking for sub quests. If you choose Decepticon you get to be a helicoptor. If you choose Autocon you get to be a camaro. The area is pretty large and the graphics are amazing. Everything in the game is destructable and you can use almost anything as a weapon. Hidden throughout the city are hidding icons to collect. Collecting these allows you to do more sub quests. You can either be a car and cruise around the areas or you can be in robot form jumping and climbing buildings. Everywhere you go leaves a path of destruction. Its quite impressive. Lets break down the review.
Graphics
These graphics are everything you wish Spiderman 3 was. Its very appealing to the eyes and there really is no flaw in this department. Game runs at a smooth 60fps all the time. For those with the Elite you can enjoy this game in 1080p.
Sound
The game sports some interesting sounds but probably could have emphasized more on the car sounds while driving. Its pretty funny hearing all the people scream while running when you transform in to a bot.
Gameplay
The controls arent bad. You can lock on your target while fighting which is nice but sometimes it is difficult to get the lock on. Once you do a combo you are forced to watch your bot punch while the enemy isnt even there. The car controls feel a bit tight at first but you quickly get the hang of it. Its actually easier to control the car while boosting lol.
Overall
This game has a pretty good replay value because there are alot of mini quests to do for more achievements. Plus there are 2 sides of the game to play. To me this game was worth the $60 as I will get many hours of gameplay from it. Unfortunately there is no multiplayer mode.
The Score
7.75/10
